Welcome to the Honor Bell Foundation. Home to the Honor Bell.

This is the most amazing tribute to a fallen warrior I have heard since taps and the 21 gun salute. I am honored to be part of the Colorado history this bell will bring to our veterans. It is a humbling reminder anywhere it may go.

Earlier this month, President and CEO of the Daniels Fund, Linda Childears, and the Honor Bell Foundation staff gathered in front of Bill Daniels’ military memorabilia to mark a milestone for the Honor Bell Foundation. Ms. Childears presented a check to Honor Bell Foundation Executive Director Louis Olivera, symbolizing the grant the Foundation received earlier in the year from the Daniels Fund. The Daniels Fund grant was a first for the Foundation and has served to shift the group’s activities into high gear.

"The support we have received from the Daniels Fund has been incredible,” said Mr. Olivera. “Not only have they invested in the Foundation’s mission with their generous grant, they have helped to catalyze our other fundraising efforts, and stand as a challenge to other grantors we are soliciting. They have also become great partners and continue to provide support in additional ways as we develop our programs.”

The Honor Bell Foundation’s mission is to create a community of veterans to foster public appreciation of military service and honor their fellow veterans with a proper, final tribute. We are a Colorado nonprofit, 501(c)(3) corporation based in Denver. Our primary purpose is to provide a unique funeral honor for Colorado’s deceased military veterans through the slow ringing, known as tolling, of a ceremonial bell. The foundation also will provide veteran outreach and community education.
